As you can imagine, Bossy has been busy preparing for her Excellent Road Trip. And this is her regime:
-
Organize names and addresses into a streamlined database.Watch America’s Next Top Model marathon. -
Plan the exact route including daily mileage.Melt white chocolate in a saucepan and scrape away burnt yellow bits. -
Contact centrally located Bloggers and arrange events in major cities.Nap. Mmmm. Couch. -
Eat only low-salt broths and citrus.Consider a third order of Chinese Spare Ribs. -
No alcohol. I am boozy. -
Jog three miles regularly.Tabulate number of calories one burns adjusting the pillow under one’s legs.
In addition to the above list, Bossy has been off garnering financial support and she has this exciting announcement to make about her Corporate Sponsors:
She is still awaiting an announcement about Corporate Sponsors!
But Bossy doesn’t mind hashing out the final details of her Corporate Sponsorship because she is focused, like a high beam. On a concrete barrier. That is coming toward her. Fast.
But it’s all good because currently Bossy has the constitution and acuity to handle this situation and more. Why, just this morning Bossy’s husband pointed out Bossy’s current biorhythm because some of you may remember Bossy’s husband has this dirty little secret:
For these reasons and more, Bossy thinks today is perfect for A Very Bossy Contest and here it is:
Can you guess the following snack that Bossy prepared for the Super Bowl? Hint: you smear it on crackers:
Here are the rules: Bossy’s friend Amy: forget about entering.
The rest of you: take your best guess—Bossy isn’t looking for ingredients, she’s looking for the name of the spread—which also describes what’s in the spread, so. Yeah. If more than one of you guesses correctly, Bossy will draw the winning name from a hat. The hat she uses to cover the hair that was butchered ten days ago—and if no one guesses correctly, Bossy will put all of your names in the hat. Because Bossy is generous needs to lighten her load.
The prize? Something from Bossy’s Basement of course: these romantic floating Valentine candles. Because romantic? Eh.
And now for the smelly socks: Bossy has decided to become the Cruise Director of her very own blog. And in that role here are a few upcoming activities on the Leto deck this week:
- Bossy will be holding another exciting contest. Any day now. Any minute really. And this time the prize will be awesome, because it will be from anyone? Anyone? Bossy’s basement.
- Bossy is planning a Tutorial about painting. She’s planning it, she’s not writing it. But still: see how fun this Cruise Director thing is?
- Bossy wants to tell you all about how she went back to the salon this past weekend to get her hair “fixed”. Bossy is using quotation marks. Around the word Fixed. Don’t miss!
- And finally Bossy wants to tell the story about how she went out to dinner on Saturday night with friends and did something she hasn’t done since she was in a sorority. Wait, Bossy was never in a sorority. Ah ha! See how special this thing was she did this past weekend?
So stay tuned, and don’t forget to render your best spread. Er, guess. Good luck!
Momo Fali says
February 5, 2008 at 9:56 amOkay, I’m going out on a limb and calling it cracker spread. What? More specific? How about Apricot Cheese Dip?
JenniferB says
February 5, 2008 at 10:02 amSpinach Dip (cause that is my favorite and I want some. Dang it.)
Jules says
February 5, 2008 at 10:12 amseafood dip.
Linda says
February 5, 2008 at 10:21 amI guess shrimp butter!
Sheryl says
February 5, 2008 at 10:24 amMango dill dip- Magdilly dip , LOL.
Yeah, I don’t cook, can you tell?
Avitable says
February 5, 2008 at 10:25 amChocolate fondue.
Wait, that’s not right.
Sister Honey Bunch says
February 5, 2008 at 10:26 amSmoked fish spread.
Haley says
February 5, 2008 at 10:27 amHmmm. I guess Spinach Artichoke dip. I’m curious about your hair “fixing” as well…
I’ll be back to check on that.
Grandma J says
February 5, 2008 at 10:27 amBased on my vast knowledge of dips and mixed up stuff, I’m gonna call this…
Carrot Orange (tree growing in the middle)Spread.
If I win, please keep the candles and put them in your emergency kit for your Excellent Road Trip. You never know when you will need flares.
chocolatechic says
February 5, 2008 at 10:28 amOlive Cheese spread.
Miss Wisabus says
February 5, 2008 at 10:28 amOnion soufflé? It looks like my aunt’s onion soufflé.
Little Miss Sunshine State says
February 5, 2008 at 10:30 amSome kind of Veggie Hummus Spread?
Martha in Kansas says
February 5, 2008 at 10:38 amHey, my biorhythm turned out the same. I’m not feelin’ real confident in that site!
I’d call that dip “Here’s Some Dip” if I made it. Hope I don’t win — I’ve got problems enough, what with the biorhythm and all.
The Mom Bomb says
February 5, 2008 at 10:39 amCrab dip, perhaps? Bossy, so many contests, so many surprises ahead! My heart is racing and I’m panting like a dog in heat. And I’m sure my biorhythms are all messed up, too. Are you trying to kill me with suspense?
Tempered Woman says
February 5, 2008 at 10:39 amCold salmon spread with dill?!?!? I stretched that image out as much as I could with my fancy “paint” program that came with this fancy computer. I’m trying to be very detectivey. I’m thinking those are capers in the cup behind it. Am I right? Am I right? Did I do good sleuthing?
Ok~ I can’t offer much in the way of corporate sponsorship but if you stop in St. Louis I’ll buy you a boozy beverage of choice (or 2 or 3~ me a boozy too)!
Kristin says
February 5, 2008 at 10:39 ami’m not quite sure if bossy is an Ellen DeGeneres fan, but bossy really needs to get on the horn and try contacting the Ellen show people about her Excellent Road trip. Bossy’s trip seems right up Ellen’s alley.
Rachel May says
February 5, 2008 at 10:45 amI’m going with Seafood-of-Some-Sort-and-Dill-Just-Put-It-On-the-Cracker-Already Dip.
Bossy is making me hungry.
Junebug says
February 5, 2008 at 10:50 amI’m guessing roasted red bell pepper/cheese dip. 😀 or maybe it was crab dip?
anastasia beaverhausen says
February 5, 2008 at 10:52 amI’m guessing crabs. IN THE DIP, for heaven sake! So…Crab Dip? Yeah, try to wrap your head around that fancy title! And I wasn’t in a sorority either. I’ve never needed to pay dues to a club in order to behave like a drunken HO. I’ve got skillz, Bossy.
Sarah is Ok says
February 5, 2008 at 10:54 amOooo, I second the Ellen idea. Good one, Kristin.
My guess: white chocolate, crab, and evergreen dip. I love that dip too, Bossy! I always make it for parties.
vuboq says
February 5, 2008 at 10:54 amNothing says “BOSSY” like Lipton Soup French Onion Dip.
Yum.
mp says
February 5, 2008 at 10:57 amIt’s CRAB DIP…
maybe?
Dree says
February 5, 2008 at 11:00 amArtichoke Cheese Dip?
Undomestic Diva says
February 5, 2008 at 11:06 amArtichoke dip, store bought and dumped into pretty bowl to insinuate homemadeness.
Not that I would do that.
Every time.

we_be_toys says
February 5, 2008 at 11:11 amSalmon and chipotle dip?
That’s my guess and I’m sticking to it.
When is the road trip supposed to be getting underway? Ever the procrastinator, I haven’t sent in my funding. Seems there is always something that comes up, like a dentist bill, that gets in the way of higher spending – its very annoying.
Barb says
February 5, 2008 at 11:18 amOnion cheese dip, of course!
Jill in Vermont says
February 5, 2008 at 11:20 amVegetable Ranch Dip?
Kristi says
February 5, 2008 at 11:21 amSundried Tomato and Crab Dip.
I have no idea what sorority sisters did, but I can’t wait to hear what Bossy did.
Robin says
February 5, 2008 at 11:24 amI’m going to have to go with artichoke dip.
David says
February 5, 2008 at 11:26 amGelatinous non-kosher dip?
If I win I will be melting the candles into a formless blob and throwing them into the trash in a gesture that symbolizes the joyful lightness of my heart.
Shannon says
February 5, 2008 at 11:30 amIt looks like a cheeseball to me. Except not so much in ball-like form anymore.
Buf says
February 5, 2008 at 11:32 amSpinach, artichoke and carrot dip??
Alice says
February 5, 2008 at 11:33 ami vote crab dip. and also for pictures of the “fixed” haircut. ALSO! i hear sorority sisters have a lot of pillow fights while doing each other’s hair. was that it?
Sheila says
February 5, 2008 at 11:35 amI know this. It’s:
Always-Bring-a-Trojan Crabtastic Crabby Crab Dip with Crab(s). It’s not just tempting – it can give you a bad reputation.
Bobo says
February 5, 2008 at 11:38 amI was there and I dont even know what it is. But It was really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dharmamama says
February 5, 2008 at 11:50 amShrimp-dill dip?
I heard a radio program where one of the DJs was talking about Ro-Tel dip. I had never heard of it, and couldn’t imagine eating something called Ro-Tel. Turns out it’s tomatoes and Velveeta. (sausage optional)
Ro-Tel sounds too much like Roach Motel. I think I’d call it something else.
Your dip obviously doesn’t have Velveeta – looks tasty!
Maybe it’s crab and dill…
AmyW says
February 5, 2008 at 11:53 amSalmon spread?
golden says
February 5, 2008 at 11:54 amhummus!
Lulu says
February 5, 2008 at 11:56 amIt looks deceivingly like Asian Chive Dip. But I’ve been known to be wrong.
Tammy says
February 5, 2008 at 11:57 amArtichoke & Spinach dip
V says
February 5, 2008 at 11:58 amI already used my rubber on Super Tuesday Crab Dip?
nutmeg says
February 5, 2008 at 12:07 pmDuh! Onion dip from the envelope! Are you visiting me on your blog tour? Do I have to send you an invitation from my basement or something – the directions were so confusing? Will your hair be – ah – fixed by then?
Kristin says
February 5, 2008 at 12:15 pmI’m gonna put two of my favorite dips together and say Artichoke and Crab! Yum!
I’ll help you plan abig event in the Twin Cities, if your coming our way!
Not the Queen says
February 5, 2008 at 12:16 pmArtichoke jalepeno dip? Looks yummy, whatever it is.
Foolery says
February 5, 2008 at 12:29 pmIt’s either Straight To Your Thighs ‘n’ Make ‘Em Rub Together Dip, or Yip Dip Dip Dip Dip Dip Dip Get a Job Dip.
So Cheese Loaf.
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
February 5, 2008 at 12:32 pmShrimp and dill spread. Garnished with a clump of green hair. Oh, Bossy, what DID they do at that salon?
Jenny says
February 5, 2008 at 12:38 pmThat has GOT to be Artichoke-something dip. Crab artichoke dip, perhaps?
Peg says
February 5, 2008 at 12:40 pmSalmon and dill. Please don’t include this guess in the contest. I won the last crap, I mean treasure, from the basement.
Imperatrix says
February 5, 2008 at 12:41 pmCan a newbie play?
I say it’s “Hummus a Few Bars and We’ll Figure It Out” Dip.
Tootsie Farklepants says
February 5, 2008 at 12:41 pmI’m gonna go with Crab dip.
Emily R says
February 5, 2008 at 12:43 pmI vote hummus. I love hummus. I eat hummus.
Aimee says
February 5, 2008 at 12:43 pmDang all my picks have been taken. Spin, art, crab, onion dip from a packet that makes your butt fat (the dip makes your butt fat not the packet???????)
No.
Dang.
Can I add ched and dill to the mix?
would that help?
No.
Sigh. nevermind.
Flea says
February 5, 2008 at 12:47 pmLooks like either a tuna or salmon dip. I could totally go for the salmon dip, as we’re not allowed to have salmon in the house anymore. 🙁 Makes my hunny’s throat swell shut.
liza says
February 5, 2008 at 12:47 pmspinach dip? hmn… cause, well, its my favorite! and I just can’t really tell but it sure looks tasty!
Hotdog says
February 5, 2008 at 12:49 pmIt’s a hummus, carrot, sage (or rosemary) dip-a-roni. I can’t wait for my floating candles! Wahooey! “Honey draw me a bath, I gots fancy candles comin in the mail!”
ha ha
Laura says
February 5, 2008 at 12:51 pmAsiago, artichoke and cheddar spread. Tastes yummy warm & cold.
Miss Britt says
February 5, 2008 at 12:52 pmYour Google is selling me Asian girls.
I think it’s the excessive use of the word “spread”.
Mayberry Magpie says
February 5, 2008 at 12:58 pmWhipped Carp.
It’s an internet recipe that’s spreading like wildfire in Mayberry.
Don’t dis it ’til you’ve tried it, my friend.
Raz says
February 5, 2008 at 1:03 pmI would have read this post in detail, but I was too busy thinking about ANTM. I’m sorry!
Clare says
February 5, 2008 at 1:09 pmI’m guessing spinach artichoke dip…mmmm that sounds good. Soooo hungry…
Assertagirl says
February 5, 2008 at 1:17 pmLooks like hummus to me!
Heather Outside Boston says
February 5, 2008 at 1:30 pmIt looks like Crab Dip to me — and you just mentioned the trip to Baltimore…
Now to read the other (more clever than my) comments.
anne nahm says
February 5, 2008 at 1:31 pmSalmon and dill dip. Heyyyy… Were you watching Barefoot Contessa last week? I totally made that dip just so I could make the Long Island Iced Tea as well.
threeboysindc says
February 5, 2008 at 1:32 pmIs that the artichoke, parmesan and mayo dip?
Are you coming to DC bossy? I’ll buy you a beer. I’ll even show you where Obama lives. Really. We can stalk him, except for the secret service detail. Maybe he’ll be in the big house by the time you come to DC. The big house that’s white, that is…
Janet says
February 5, 2008 at 1:38 pmI’m going with crab dip, even though it looks like I’m just copying so many other guesses. But I’m not copying. I guessed crab dip before I clicked over from my reader. Honest.
Heather Outside Boston says
February 5, 2008 at 1:39 pmYep, they were more clever. I’d curse you all, but I’m too busy sniggling and trying not to wet my pants. Thank you, all.
magpie says
February 5, 2008 at 1:46 pmLipton Onion Soup Dip – the kind you mix with sour cream and then eat with your fingers…right? right?
gramps says
February 5, 2008 at 1:53 pmWhipped Carp!!!!!!! Made me laugh
Bought some stuff from Trader Joe’s called Tzatziki—“creamy garlic cucumber dip”. Wow!!
Yours is Creamy Cauliflower stuff with Jalapinos (sp) and other stuff in it.
gramps
Heather says
February 5, 2008 at 2:02 pmKnorr Vegetable Spinach Dip.
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
corrie says
February 5, 2008 at 2:27 pmBossy is ever CREATIVE in the kitchen…
Hmmmm…. Onion dip w/ Lipton’s onion soup mix!!! That must be it!
I am looking forward to an update on the hair ‘fix’!! I am currently considering a distress call to the salon for same…but wonder if I can hack going into that environment again so soon! Usually I visit the hairdresser 3x/yr.
Good luck getting ready for your roadtrip! It’s so much work, maybe Bossy should just rest up a bit.
🙂
andrea says
February 5, 2008 at 2:28 pmShrimp artichoke dip? No idea. But now I’m hungry.
queenoqueens says
February 5, 2008 at 2:41 pmIs it that mock apple pie filling made with Ritz crackers?
ali says

Candy says

Velma says
February 5, 2008 at 3:17 pmI’m gonna mix it up a little with the adjectives…
SPICY crab dip?
Melissa says
February 5, 2008 at 4:13 pmI have no idea what the dip is, but my four-year-old just walked up to the computer screen, saw the love boat photo, and asked: “Mom, are those the people RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?”
Jen M says
February 5, 2008 at 4:29 pmVeggie Spread? Dill Spread? Veggie Dill Spread? Veggie Cheese Spread? Crabby Veggie Spread? Cheesey Crab Spread?
I’m disqualified, aren’t I?
joeinvegas says
February 5, 2008 at 4:35 pmHmm, do you need a bartender on that cruise deck? I make a mean margaritta.
Corporate sponsorship, huh? What does that entail? I’ll throw in some logo cup holders.
Renee in Seattle says
February 5, 2008 at 4:39 pmHot Artichoke jalapeno dip/spread, because Bossy is spicy that way.
Manic Mommy says
February 5, 2008 at 4:50 pmI was going to say hummus but that’s been done. Now I’ll just name random ingredients:
– cream cheese
– sour cream
Do I win??
Bossy, did you French kiss a sorority girl this weekend?
JPend says
February 5, 2008 at 4:51 pmArtichoke dip
Deb on the Rocks says
February 5, 2008 at 4:55 pmI say “Garden Vegetable Spread.” Probably yummy and garlicy. Final answer.
rusalina says
February 5, 2008 at 5:35 pmIt is store bought, guaranteed 🙂
Perhaps salmon dip???
Dara says
February 5, 2008 at 5:46 pmCrab dip/spread. I was gonna say hummus…but, I think that green thingy is dill, and I’ve never had dill in hummus, so I’m sticking with the crab.
I love that you watch ANTM. You should check out four-four for fantastically funny/campy recaps.
jean says
February 5, 2008 at 6:13 pmveggie dip?

And did I mention the Indy 500, in INDY. WHERE I LIVE?
You do have a NASCAR ad in you sidebar, serendipity? I think so.
AmberStar says
February 5, 2008 at 6:55 pmCajun Crab Dip is my guess.
mary gese says
February 5, 2008 at 7:35 pmMy guess is Smoked salmon spread.
Janna says
February 5, 2008 at 7:37 pmJust cause it has those little yellow touches (I’m going to assume they’re not just bad lighting), I’m saying Artichoke Lemon Dip?
Cause that’s what it looks like to me.
They sell it at my local Whole Foods, but I don’t even know if you live near a Whole Foods.
And because otherwise WHAT the heck are those yellow bits?!
Biddy says
February 5, 2008 at 7:47 pmlooks a lot like crab dip to biddy!
and i’m very excited about the painting tutorial, cause seriously, i suck
HRH says
February 5, 2008 at 8:13 pmthat is mock spinach dip. why don’t you spring for the REAL spinach dip?
The Domestic Goddess says
February 5, 2008 at 8:36 pmHorseradish and Dill?
Oh, and the candles? Upside down they look like butts.
Heidi says
February 5, 2008 at 9:51 pmIt looks just like Rachael Ray’s Olive Dip that I made.
Arbie says
February 5, 2008 at 10:33 pmAm I reading Bossy’s side bar correctly? chnlove.com???
Robin says
February 5, 2008 at 10:42 pmLooks like my Mom’s Cheese-Shrimp Dip. So… how quickly can you get my new candles to California? Have you tried the curls rock yet?
Mrs. G. says
February 5, 2008 at 10:58 pmIt’s dip. I really think it’s dip.

Hacksaw says
February 6, 2008 at 1:27 amI’m going with the Spinach-Artichoke dip. That’s what we had at my house.
Bunk says
February 6, 2008 at 1:54 amIt’s obvious to me. It’s warm lumpy yellow mayonnaise spread. We love it.
kim at allconsuming says
February 6, 2008 at 6:39 amMy guess is Philly Crab Dip.
And the girl crush I have on Bossy is entering the just-ridiculous stratosphere.
Heidi says
February 6, 2008 at 8:35 amI have to go with hummus.
William says
February 6, 2008 at 8:52 amHi Julie…I mean Bossy
Bretta says
February 6, 2008 at 9:16 amThat looks like a bowl of capers behind it, so I’m thinking Salmon Dill Spread.
sher says
February 6, 2008 at 9:29 amthe main ingredient must be dry vegetable soup mix. it’s good eatin’ ya know, and a must for us non-cooks when we make a dip. it’s like onion soup mix, but with little specks of green and orange.
sher says
February 6, 2008 at 9:30 amdoh! what i meant to say is that it’s the vegetable dip from the recipe on the back of the dry soup package, right? 😉
meleah rebeccah says
February 6, 2008 at 9:39 amsour cream and onion?
Meg says
February 7, 2008 at 6:46 amArtichoke crab dip! I’d like to donate the candles to charity, please.
